An apparatus and method for allowing the industrial use of a high-concentration supply of an organometallic composition, such as an alkyllithium composition, with processes requiring low-concentration organometallic feeds by blending a supply of organometallic with a supply of hydrocarbon solvent, analyzing the concentration of organometallic within the blend using spectroscopic analysis to determine the concentration of organometallic, communicating the concentration value to a control apparatus which compares the actual concentration value with a previously determined desired concentration value and, adjusting the rate of supply of the organometallic, the rate of supply of the hydrocarbon solvent, or the rate of supply of both the organometallic and the solvent to obtain a blended organometallic stream of the desired concentration. |
